On fans/matchmaking
If your opponent is around your ranking/skill level then no, you won't lose as many fans. If your opponent is much lower then yes, you should expect to lose more fans. But, what this is striving for is a true rating of your team and your skill. Now, obviously we have some AI issues that are making this less representative, but the goal of the system is to get away from just a raw accumulation of fans and to a true test of player skill. In theory, once again, this is fine. However, shouldn't it be player choice? Known risk/reward? Similar to last year. By playing in All Madden, i risked more fans but also was awarded more fans. If I chose Rookie, I got little of either. We have little to no way of scouting other than power level.
There's also the issue that the GAME is costing us so much time/fans. Between the constant network timeouts, and the long stretches of lag while the counter is still going...those two issues have cost me plenty of fans.
